Illegal Scope after still getting Approved

Illegal Scope after still getting Approved

I made a web application and recently it was approved for a quota extension.  However, currently, there is an error message saying "Illegal Scope" whenever i try to authenticate a user via Spotify's OAuth. 

 

Am I doing wrong, it has been more than 2 days since i have been approved and I have tried everything, I even submitted a request to have a scope extension with a more thorough overview of which scope i am using.

 

Here is my authorization scopes where i am making the request to

 

 

authorize?response_type=code
&client_id=[REDACTED]
&state=[REDACTED]
&redirect_uri=[REDACTED]
&scope=playlist-read-private
%20user-follow-read
%20user-top-read
%20user-read-recently-played
%20playlist-read-collaborative
%20playlist-modify-public
%20playlist-modify-private

Have you tried to change the %20 to spaces?

I tried removing the %20 to spaces the issue still persists :S

However as soon as i remove all scopes, the authentication page appears as normal

And if you add the scopes one-by-one?

I removed the scopes one-by-one and tried adding them in one-by-one but the issue still occurs. 

I thought it could have been an issue with a single scope being illegal, but I think all of them are. 

Could there be something wrong with the scopes and how they are associated with my client id. I am not sure what is going on :S

 

I have already sent a scope extension request a couple of days ago further going into detail on how I plan to use each scope.  I hope this issue can get resolved quickly :S

 

Hey!So have u made this done? How did u do that? I'm facing this problem too. Pls help me.

If you're like me, and just used all the scopes specified in the documentation, what worked for me was just removing all the scopes after user-personalized so removing: user-personalized user-soa-link user-soa-unlink soa-manage-entitlements soa-manage-partner soa-create-partner, worked for me.
